It also seems like every time we yell a bogus banner is imminent, it happens.
My mind is so blown. This makes so much sense. This makes representation LOCAL and not REGIONAL. BTW thirtythousand.org is working. Thank you. Why isn't this a thing?
The framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights intended that the total population of Congressional districts never exceed 50 to 60 thousand. Currently, the average population size of the districts is nearly 700,000 and, consequently, the principle of proportionally equitable representation has been abandoned.
Rabbit hole symbolism,is the news of rabbit’s death a signal?
What Can the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland Teach Us About Life?
The first chapter in “Alice in Wonderland” is entitled “Down the Rabbit Hole”. What hits me about that is how uniquely interesting rabbit holes truly are. Rabbit holes are curvy paths that take you someplace you weren’t expecting to go and don’t know where they end up.
Alice was tired of having nothing to do, of living her normal existence, sitting on the stream bank, when suddenly the White Rabbit appears, just being a magical rabbit, saying “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!” and breaks Alice from her slumber.
One of the most wonderful lines of the book is when Alice becomes “burning with curiosity” and follows him down the rabbit hole “never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.” The magical pull of the White Rabbit ignited her curiosity, and poof a whole new world opened up to her. A world so different than what she was used to.
That’s what rabbit holes, and their curious inhabitants, do.
They open our senses to possibilities otherwise unimagined.
They open our senses to places and things otherwise unattainable.
They open our hearts and souls to a world full of curiosity.
“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity” — Dorothy Parker
That’s the breathtaking part of going someplace you would otherwise never have gone. The curiosity. The excitement. The taste for adventure and experiences you thought were out of your reach. I’ve done this on countless occasions. Exploring Africa, the Himalayas, putting on MMA gloves and getting in the ring, spinning dancing partners across the dance floor, tasting all the flavors that life has to offer.
But rabbit holes and curiosity have their dark side as well. They aren’t always well lit and can be spooky at times. And finding an easy exit when we get scared can be … challenging to say the least. It takes true courage and honest reflection to truly delve into the twists and turns that a rabbit hole can conjure. And the illusions, once we are in the rabbit hole, let us spin up spooky stories and can leave us breathless and scared and desperate for the comfort of our old above the ground normality.
So here’s my question: “What would it take for you to delve into the rabbit hole?” and “Can you muster the courage and strength of heart necessary to accept the curiosity a rabbit hole can illuminate?” What next steps, simple single steps, could you take tomorrow to prepare yourself for an adventure chasing a White Rabbit and exploring his world? Where do you dream your curiosity could take you? On an exploration of the world? On an inner journey to explore parts of you that were previously hidden? What words, every day, can you say to yourself in the mirror, to exercise and strengthen your heart and curiosity so one day you’ll be ready for your next great adventure Down the Rabbit Hole?
Awesome meme. True and accurate.
As to the Pence bunny, there were books written about him by Charlotte Pence and illustrated by her mother, Karen Pence. May be comms in those books. Maybe some Godfather references.
Good grief!!!
Petite Sirloin steak is $6 a pound here in North Texas.
Does it look like the three story structure
that was built and disassembled near there last year
would fit inside the area of the new baracaids?

Why is that pup looking at me? I don’t actually need another gun? Got it covered-—semper fi
I really liked this post. It is hard to be good. I guess part of life is failure and regret. So while the feeling of not being worthy is a part of life, the gift of forgiveness is the promise. A second chance for those who are willing to grab it.
Whatever it is it had to start under Trump. There’s too much work showing for the planning, funding, etc. to have started since Sleepy came to town.
Marlon Bundo, the beloved pet rabbit of the Pence family, has died, former second daughter, Charlotte Pence announced Saturday.
“He taught me how to always try to be kind first and never stop making an effort to get along. We had some wild times together, and I’m forever grateful. Rest in sweet peace, little bunny,” Pence posted on Instagram.

Perhaps I differ from the majority, but I think it is incredibly stupid to be grateful to a rabbit for anything, My take is the Pence family is full of retarded people.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand how hard it is to lose a pet, but my dead cat never even taught me how to bounce…he was a….cat.
Great posters!!!
“Why the crane? Are they lifting out the fountain and dropping a new one in its place?”
Maybe they are installing a gigantic water feature of Obama/Clinton/Biden that sprays from all the orifices.
The Living Constitution is what happened to the Constitution after being empretzeled by two centuries of case law. This case law came from loose construction of the Constitution because the amendatory process did not keep up with the changes in the fabric of America. It goes back two centuries.
The Framers would have said that a vigilant and moral citizenry was the guardian of the Constitution, using the ballot box to keep the federal government within the constitutional prison that Madison designed for it. Once the citizenry learned to profit from a piece of their neighbors' wealth, the calculus changed.
Well said !
Good to see you, Cats. With FJB, who knows... he’s deranged plus evil in every possible way. Was he reading?
